India continued to fare badly in the well-regarded Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) that measures overall learning level among Indian school students, highlighting the challenges in school education.

Overall learning level among Indian students is “pretty disappointing”.

That should worry policymakers in a country that boasts of near-universal enrolment in elementary schools (Class I-VIII), thanks to a successful law that makes education a fundamental right for all children in 6-14-years age group.

According to ASER 2016, the proportion of all children in Class V who can read a Class II level text (book) declined to 47.8% in 2016 from 48.1% in 2014.

Proportion of all Class VIII students in rural India who can divide a three-digit number by a single-digit one has dipped to 43.2% in 2016 from 44.2% in 2014.

While 32% of children in Class III could read simple English words, in Class V, only one out of every four students could read a English sentence.

In 2009, Right to Education, or RTE, Act was passed by Parliament.

India is close to schooling for all but our journey towards learning for all is yet to begin.

Bright spot: Nationally, the proportion of school students in Class III who are able to read a book meant for Class I has improved from 40.2% in 2014 to 42.5% in 2016.

Similarly, in arithmetic there is a slight improvement again in Class III. In 2016, 27.7% of all Class III children could do a two digit subtraction as against 24.4% in 2014.
